Star like object without any trail travelling at very high speed from South to North in around 90 seconds.

On 08th January 2021 UAE Local time 06:00 Hours coordinates 25.78404, 56.01033 we saw a star like object crossing the sky from the south to the North at a very high speed. Probably it took just 90 seconds to pass exactly in the same alignment as that of the star visible in the south to the star visible in the north. This is not a falling meteorite as it did not come in contact with earth's atmosphere. Nor was it a comet as there was no tail. Comets normally travel from east to west. The brightness was that of a star and cannot be any satellite in earth's polar orbit. More over the speed is much more than that of any comet or satellite. In Skyerviewer application it could not be traced, nor on mobile camera could We take a photo of it. We found that at that time the ISS (International Space Station) was not above the horizon.

Request you to check with your sources to find out what this could be, and has any of the satellites or space observatories detected this.
